Yes, OP needs to look at CosmOS, my 5, but there are more of must-see systems. I mentioned some in my solution; please see -- interesting.

ive got it already, but when i try to install this cromos, it says i need to install, visual studio 2010

Strange! You can get a trial version of VS2010 which will work for I think 90 days from Microsoft Site.

While it's important to look at CosmOS, as Mehdi pointer out, it's also important to look at Singularity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_%28operating_system%29[^], http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/singularity/[^]. This is not exactly C#, but a language derived from C#: Sinc# based on Spec#. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sing_sharp[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spec_Sharp[^]. Nevertheless, some lowest level is done in Assembly language and C.

Another thing to look at is SharpOS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SharpOS_%28operating_system%29[^], http://www.sharpos.org/[^].

So, if you want to create your own system, don't waste time :-). Reportedly, Microsoft is also working at future CLR based systems. I heard about Midori (a candidate for replacement of the Must-die), see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_%28operating_system%29[^], and Barrelfish, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrelfish[^].
